If suchii thing can be I must lm left that room with tho locks of an old man. I can only wi) I hat even now as, after tho lapse of years. I write this; even as I M'uovei' tiling iiroitiid me safe, still and at tience; oven though I know tho ones I love ai e close at hand, niv pen Ircmliles, in blood feels chilledund a fiUiitness steals oer mi' as the recollec tion of tho most terrible moments In my life comes to me with a vividness I cannot describe. It was well for me that I could keep still and cry again and gain "I am blind look mid see!" .M ipilcsconce, tho tone of my voice, may have turned tho balance on which m life hang may have carried conviction to my hearers. I 'resent ly the Miong light of a lamp waspeiceptlhlo to my ob.scured vision: ii lamp placed so elnsetomethatlcould feel its hot glow upon m face; and L was aware that home one was stooping or kneeling down and peering Into my eyes. Ills bicath struck intiilnst my cheek; a short ipilck excited breath how could it bo otherulscnfter the deed hi which he had just taken pai t? At last ho rose; u moment af lei ward the restraining hands moved from me, and then, for the Hist time. I began to hone that in) lite might bespaied. As jet none of those around me had spoken. fow I heard Milces; but. u Ids perlug so softly that even my sharpen ed ears couici not eaten I he purport of u sluu'Ie word, although I could gather that tluco persons at least ere engaged in that hushed consultation. All the while, liken drcarv and lltlitig accompaniment, I could hear that stif led moaning a woman's moaning. I would have given all I possessed- all save life- in ochano for a minute's sight, that I might have been able to coiupieheud what had passed and what was passing around me. Still the whispeis continued. They caino thick and last, miming Into and Interrupting each other, as from men in hot lint miauled discussion. It need ed little Intelligence to kw the sub ject of that debate! 1'ieseiitlv the died iiwiij altogether, and, for a lime, tho only sound 1 heard was that leirible, imullcd moan that continued with a dicary mojiotom. A foot touched inc. "You ma) stand up." I heaid nouio one say, Wluiu I buist so recklessly Into the loom I fancied the exclamation with which I was greeted came from foreign lips, but the man who now mldiessed mo spoke In pure Kiuilish. Hy this time I was beginning-1 iccocr self-possession, and was able to make a mental note of these fuels. Thankful at bclnir allowed to unit mv ghastl couch, I lose. As I could think of nothing belter to do. I stood motion less. "Walk this wnv -straight on four twes," said the voice. I (moved. The llilld step biought me In collision witli the wall. .No doubt this was an extra test as to the truth of my statement. A hand was placed upon my shoulder, and I was guided to a chair. "Now, sir," said the speaker who had before addiessed me, "tell us, in as few words us possible, who jou me how and w by ) ou came here. He tpilck, we have no tlmo to spare." I well knewthej had no time to spare. They had much to dor much to hide. Oh, for the gift of sight for one mo ment! I would puicliase it, even if tho price were jours of daiknessl Shoitly and simply as 1 could, I told them what had htought mo into such straits. Tho only thing 1 concealed wasmy truoiuiiue. Wh) should these assassins know ItJ" Ifl loveuled it they might set a watch upon me, and at anv moment their .safety demanded It 1 might share the fate of him who lay within a few feet of ni chair. So l Kiivun lletltious nuine, but e cry thing clso I told thorn was truo. All tho while 1 was speaking T heard that distressing bound at tho other end of tho room. It drove mo nearly mud. I believe, could I lmvo mndo sure of i caching tin ouch my darkness and catching one of thoso men by tho throat, with the coitalutyof crushing llfuoutof him, 1 should hao done so, even had fciich an net sealed my own fato. When my explanation was over an other whispered, consultation took place. Then tho spokesman demanded tho kev which had so nearly cost mo my life. I sujuwso they tried it mul found It acted as I said. It was not returned to mo, but I heard tho voice once more. "Fortunately for you wo have decided (o believe your tale. Stuml no." 1 did so ana was lea to another part or tno room, and again placed In a chair. As, after tho manner of tho blind,! stretch ed out my hands, 1 found I was in a corner ol tho loom, my face turned to tho angle of tho walls. "Jf you move or look round." ald the voice,, "our belief In voiir blindness will vanish." It was impossible to misunderstand tho grim tin cat conveyed b the last words. I could only sit quirt and HM-ii with all my cars. Yes. they had much to do. Tlioy moved about busily and rapidly, f heard cupboards and drawers opened. I detected tho Bound of papers hi nig lorn and tho smell of papers burning, lheaid them raise some dead wcluliL from the iloor- heard a sound as of rent cloth, aim linen imam inojingiooi mono), even tho tickof a walcluis it was drawn forth from somewhere and laid on tho table near me. Then I felt a breath of air and know that tho door had been opened. 1 hoard heavy footsteps on the stairs the stops of men bearing u weighty burden, and I shuddered as 1 thuuclit what that burden must be. Jleforo tho last task was completed the woiinn's moan had ceased. For some time !t had been growing fainter and oulv hounding at lectirrlng Inter vals. Now i he.ud it no longer. This cessation was a pent lclicf to my over wrought nerves, bin -'i heart grew sick as 1 thought it mav In llieio wore two victims instead of one. Although at least two men must have "bonio that weight away, I knew I was not left alone. 1 heariisome one throw himself into n chair with a half weary nigh and guessed ho had been left to guard me. i was longing to make mv escape longing to wake and llud I hail neon dreaming, unc suspense or the nightmare was growing unheal able. 1 yahl. without turning mv head. "How long am I to be kept amid these lioirorsV"' J heaid the man move In his chair, but ho innde no answer. ".May I not go?" I pleaded, "I have seen nothing. I'utnieoiit Into the hlieet-anywheie. I shall go mad if I lu heio longer." Still no tiuswer. I said no more. llv mid by the absent men leturueil lo their companion, lheaid the door close after them. Then eanio more whispeis, and I heaid the drawing of a coil; and the jingle nf '.isses. They were lefreshlng themselves alter the night's dark work. Presently aeiirloiisodor that of some drug was perceptible. A hand wan laid on mv shoulder and a glass fullof some lliiulil was phued between my lingers. I)rlnk."sald thovolce- theonlvvoice I had heard. "I will not," I cried. "II may bo poi son." I heard u short harsh laugh and felt a cold metallic, ilug laid against my fine head. "It Is not poison: It is an opiate mid will do you no harm. Hut this." and as he spoke 1 felt the pressure of a little Iron circlet, "this is another utTalr. Choose!" 1 drained the glass mid was glad lo feel the pistol moved from mv head. "Now," said tho spokesman, taking the empty glass from my hand, "If you me a wlso man. when von awake to-morrow you will say, M have been drunk or dreaming.' You have heard us but not seen us. but remember we know you." Ho left mo, and inn short time, do what 1 would to struggle against it, heavy drowsiness came over me. Thoughts glow incoherent and reason seemed leaving me. My head fell llrst on one side, then nu the other. Tho last thing I can remember Is a strong arm enclicllug mo and keeping mo from tumbling out of ni) chair. Whatever tho drug was. its action was strong and swift. For hours nnd hours It held mosenso loss, and when nt last its power faded and inymlnd.struggllngbacktoacloud ed sort of consciousness, made, after many attempt)), tho fact niipai out tome that I was lying on a bed, and, more over, as I found by strctclilng out my arms and feeling around, my own bed, Is it to bo wondered at that fsald lo my self. "I have dreamed tho most fright ful dream that ever cumo to a torment ed mind." Alter this effort of mind I sank back ouco more into ti semi-conscious stato, but fully persuaded I had never quitted my bed. My relief atthls discovery was immense. Yet If my mind grew easv, I cannot Fny tho same for the body. My head seemed preparing to split In two; my tongue was dry and paiched. Thcsoun pleasaut tacts neenmo moroaud more noticeable as consciousness gradually returned. 1 sat up in the bed and pi ess cd my bauds to mv throbbing brows. "On dear heart!'1 I heaulin old nurse say. "lie Is coining louud ai last." Then another voice- a man's voice.soft and bland. "Yes, your master will soon be well again. Kindly let mo feel our pulse Mr. Vaughan.' A soft linger was laid upon my wrist. "Who Is fur 1 asked. "I am Dr. Deane. at our service," said tho stranger. "Have I been HIV many daysr "A few hours oulv. I low long? I low Thcio is nothing to ho alarmed at, ,ie down liL'aln and keen unlet for n while. AinvmHIilrslv V" "Yi-n, 1 am dying with thfist gle me water." They did so. 1 drank greodilv. nnd felt somewhat relieved. "Now, nurse," I heaid tho doctor saj, "make him some weak tea, ami when ho wants anything to eat let hlmhavo it. I will look in again later on." Dr. Deane was shown out, and old Pilscilla, returning to mv bedside, pat tod and punched the pillows to make mo more comfoitable. Hy this tlmo 1 was wide awake and the experiences of the night were coming kick to mo with a distinctness and detail far above those of a i ecalled dream. "What Is the timer I asked. "Nigh upon noon, Master (Silbeit." Piiseilla spoke in a sorrowful, injured manner. "Noon! what has been tho matter withmor The old servant wns weeping. I could hear her. She mndo no answer, so I re peated mv question. "Oh, Master (illbert!" she sobbed, "how could you do 115" Witen 1 camo Into tho room and saw tho empty bed I thought I should have dropped When she saw tho emptv bed! I trem bled. Tho horrors of tho night weie reall "How could you dolt, Master (ill bertr continued Prisellla. "To go out without a word, and wander halt over Loudon, all alone and not able to see a thlngl" "Sit down and tell mo what you mean what has liappeiuHlV Sho had not quite aired her gilevanee. "If you wanted to gt tipojorto take anv of them stuffs to send ou to sVen and make you lnsensinie. you nngiit havo done it at home, Master Gilbert. I .shouldn't have minded once in a way." "You'ro a kind old fool. I'rlsclfln. Tell mo all about last night' It was not until she mm. j wasgettlng quite angry that her tuirt'io would con sent to run pretty M run. lit. nnd when I hoard her accom.t of wl.il had occurred my head was whirling. This N what she told me. It must have bom about an houraft ter my stealthy elt that uliu awoke. wio pui nor ear to the door to make cer tain, that I wiisasleepandv.anlingnoth Ing. Ifoarlng i t sound of life in my room, i; - euteied it, and found tho bed untenanted and me gone. Probably she was own inoie frftrhtcncil limn h)ii owned to being. She knew all about my J despondency and complainings, of the I insiiew -iiajH. nun iimmmio dotlDtblit her llrst fear was thai I had destroyed myself. Slio started in search of mo, nnd at once lecoynlzlng tho impossi bility of (hiding mo without assistance, turned In that llrst and last resource or an Englishwoman in such a dllllcultv the Police. Having told her tale ut Hie neatest station, itinl by entreaties, and by enlarging on my Inllrmlty. made known the urgency of the case and se cured sjmpatliy, telegraphic messages were sent to other police stations ask ing if any one answering to my descrip tion had been found. Prlscliln waited upon morns until about llvo o'clock in tho morning, when a reply camo from tho other cud of tho town. It stated that a young man who appeared to be blind, nnd who was certninlydrunk and ineapablo, had just boon hi ought in. iTisuiiia now totiio rescue, hiioioumi mo lying senseless, and destined, noon my lecovcry, to bo brought before the magistrate A doclor was soon procur ed, who testified to my innocence so fai ns alcohol was concerned. Tho oner getlc Prlscliln, after placing mo safely In a cab, gavo the ofllccr.s a bit of her mind as to tho discomforts undorwhlch sho had found mo laboring. Slio then departed triumphantly with her uncon scfoiiH charge, and laid him on tho lied ho had so rashly quitted. 1 nm grieved to bo compelled to gath er from her words, that, In splto or tho indignation she displayed toward the policemen, hor estimate of my condi tion was tho sauions theirs. Sho was particularly grateful to tho doetor, whom, I fear, she looked upon us a clever and complaisant practitioner, who had extricated a ucntlcnimi fiom a scranobyti well-timed but untruthful explanation. "lint I never knew a body stop hi sonsiblo so long after it. Don't yodo It ngnln, Master Ollbeil," she concluded. I did not combat her suspicious. Prls cliln wns scarcely the one to whom I wished to conllde the adventures of tho night. Ily far the simplest way was to say nothing, to leave her to draw her own, and, perhaps, not unnatural con clusions. "1 won't do It again," I said. "Now got mo somo bioakfast. Tea and toast anything." Sho wont to do mv bidding. II was not that l was hitngrv. 1 wanted to bo alone for a few minutes to think or think us well us my nchlng head would allow. I recalled eeiythlng that had hap pened since I left the door of my house. Tho entranced walk, the drimkenguido, tho song I had heard, and, at'tcrwaid. thoso horrible, eloquent sounds and touches. Everything was clear and connected up to the moinenl the opiate was forced upon me; after that my iiihnl Was a blank. Prlselllirs tale showed mo that during that blank I must have boon transpoited several miles and de posited In the thoioiighfare whore I wns found by tho policeman. I saw through the craftv scheme. I had been dropped, insensible, far aw a from the scene of the crime at which I had been present. How wild and improbable mv tale would seem. Would any one be lieve It? Then I remember my horror at what I felt streaming over mv hand as I la pinned down upon the fallen man. I called Prisellla. "Look," 1 said, holding m right hand toward her, "is It clean was it clean when you found meV" "CleanIn, no, Master (iilboit!" "What was on itV" I asked excitedly. "All covered with mud. Justus If you'd been dabbling hi the gutter. Tho llrst thing 1 did when 1 got you homo was to wash your poor bauds nnd face. I hone- L ed it would bring jou louud it gener ally noes, you kiiow. ''Hut my coat-sleeve. The right-hand side. See If nn thing Is on them." Prlscliln laughed. " ou haven't gc not no era iigiu-iianu sleeve leit. riiev were cut or torn oil' above the ellunv. i our arm was naked. Every scrap of circumstantial evi dence which would conllrin mv tale was vanishing awa . There would lie noth ing to suppoit it except the assertion of a blind man, who loft his house in tho dead of night, secietly, and who was found, so end hours afterward, miles away, in such a state that tho guardians of tlio public morals weie compelled to take charge of him. Yet I could not iviuain silent with tlio knowledge of such aciimo weigh ing on in) mind. The next d.iv 1 had entirely rccoM'reil fiom tho elTects of ine opiate, ami atier consideration sent for my solicitor. Ho was a comldeutial friend, nnd I resolved lo be guided bv ids advice. In a eryshort time I found it was hopeless to thinkof carrj lugcon vie t Ion to his mind. Ho listened grave ly, giving vent to "Well, well!" -Dless my soul!" "Shocklngl" and other set expiesslonsof surprise, but 1 knew ho was only humming me, and looked up on the whole thing us a delusion. I have no doubt that Pilscilla had been talking to him and telling him all sho knew. Ills Incredulity annoyed me, so I told him, testily, I should raynomoro about tho affair. "Well, I wouldu'i i'l were you," ho said. "You don't iH'liovo mPV , "lbelieo on are sajiug what you think is true; but it' jou ask me, my opinion is that von walked Inyoursleep and dreamed all this." Too cross to argue ith him, I took his advice, so far as ho was concerned, and said no more about it. Afterward l tried another fiieud with a similar re sult. If those who had know ii me from childhood would not bellow me. how could Icxpootstmngerstodosoy Every thing 1 had to rod'al was so vague and unsupported, i cmi!! not even lix upon tho spot where tlio ciinie was commit ted. 1 had ascertained that no house, in Walpolo stieet could bo opened by a key similar to mlno. There was no oth er street of that name anywhere near. My friend witli tho unsteady feet must have misunderstood mo and conducted mo to another row of houses. I thought, at one time, of advertising aiiu asKing nun to communicate wun inc. but I could not word a request which should bo intelligible to him, without, perchnncc, exciting tho sus picions of thoso who wero concerned in the crime. Even now, if tlioyhr.d dis covered my truo natrio and abode, thcro might bo somo ono on tho watch forany movement I might make. I had been snared onco, but no mercv would bo shown mo a second time. Why should I risk my llfoby mnklng disclosures which would not bo believed accusa tions against men who wero unknown to meV What good could I do? IJynow the issnsnlns must lmvo hidden nlltrnco of tho crime, and mndo good their ro troat. Why should I face tho rldlculo which must attach to such a tnlo as mlno, tho truth of which I could not provoV No; let tho horrorsof that night bo as a dream. Let them fade and bo forgotten. Soon I havo something clso to think of; something that may well drive such dismal memories from my mind. IIopo has become certainty. I am almost de lirious with delight. Sclcnco has tri umphed! My defeated foo litis left mo. I am told his return is almost beyond possibility. The world Is light again! 1 can see! Hut mv euro was a long nnd tedious nlTalr. Doth oyes word operated upon. First ono, and, when the successof that operation was assured, tne otner. it was months befoiel was allowed to emergoulto "tlierfrom darkness. Light was doled out to me sparingly and cau tiously. Win i did that matter so long that I knew tin ! was light again for me? I wns patlei. very patient nnd grateful. I lollowcd Mr. Jay's Instruc tions to the letter, knowing I should renp the reward of so doing. My case had been treated by tho sim plest and safest method of operation the ono which is ulwavs chosen when the nature of tho disease and the ago of the patient permits solution of nbsorp- nun ii in il'iiiicii. i lieu ii Miia an over, and all danger of Inllnmmatlou at an end; when 1 found that by tho aid of strong convex glasses 1 could see well enough for all ordinary purposes, Mr. .lay congratula'.i I both himself niiduio. It promised, he said, to be the most thoroughly successful cure ho had ever taken part in. it must have been, some thing above the common, as I am In formed that eery hook on tho eje which has since been published cites mj case as an example of what may bo done. Not until my djing duj shall 1 forget that time when m cure was declared a fact: when the baiuhige-i wore removed, and I was told I might now use. spar iiigl), mj uncui tallied oyes. 'i'lii' Joj. from what seemed never ending night, to wake and see the sun. lhi'stat -1110 clouds sped by the wind aei oss the fair blue sl.!

To see. uol hear alone, the moving llpsnud laugh of thiwe who grasped in v hand and spoke kind words! . To nichi those llrst d.tjaof new-born light, the face of every woman, man and child seemed welcome us the face of some dear friend, long lost and found again! After this decerlpllon ay ecstasy it seems puro pathos to say that tho only thing which detracted from it was my being obliged to wear thoso strong convex glasses. I was voung and thov wore horribly dlsllgurlng. "Shall I never be able to do without themr I asked, rather iiicfullv. "That." replied Mr. .lay, "is a point upon which I wish to speak to you. "i ou will never be aide to do without tltmvt. Hom.'inber, I have destroyed, nhsoibod, dissolved the glasses In vour eves called crystalline lenses. Their place Is now supplied by the lluli hu mor.
